Asia Pacific 2004 continued fiery investment OLED

OLED monitors the product from the passive drive monochrome light-emitting start, the development of the later 4 ~ 5 color display of multi color, and then through the 4096 color display, and now is mainly driven by the full color of the product. Although the performance of the OLED monitor is improving every year, how to promote the practical application of the active drive has encountered some resistance. In particular, the life of the product, color reproduction, brightness and power consumption are showing an inverse relationship, so manufacturers in the product of the road also need more confirmation. According to the forecast in 2000, 2002 to 2003 driving type products may be put into the market, but until now is still in the experimental stage, driving mass production products is far behind.

Since the 1997 northeast Pioneer used a monochrome display of OLED monitors in the car audio, this configuration began to rise. Northeast Pioneer took the lead in the beginning of the mass production of OLED monitors, in November 2002 before the cumulative shipments reached about 2 million 220 thousand. In addition, TDK is also used in the production of car audio OLED monitor, and available to ALPINE. In vehicle use, Japan Seiki has also started production of the vehicle code using the OLED monitor. After the car stereo, OLED monitor in mobile phone applications are also gradually active. The earliest OLED monitor as the mobile phone main panel is manufactured by Motorola, thereafter, in 1999 launched the "STAR TAC" with the Northeast Pioneer production of multicolor OLED monitor, 2000 NEC produced "FOMA 2001" with a Samsung NEC mobile monitor produced 4096 color passive drive OLED monitor. Now is not only the main panel, there are many models will be used for sub panel. Japan's Fujitsu in the "F504i" after the models are used in this monitor. The latest product "F505i" is a 256 color display OLED monitor, the future direction of development is the use of 4096 color. Foreign LG electronics is also the OLED monitor as the sub panel, and Fujitsu, but also the use of the Northeast Pioneer products. In addition, it is also used for electronic shavers and small game machine. Research institutions predict that 2004 OLED market demand will increase, expects the global market demand will reach up to 40 million, after 2005, with the OLED technology gradually mature, especially in the application of small and medium size products will be more widely.

Another major application is the mobile phone panel SEMI Taiwan said that the current OLED panel in the application market in addition to car audio panel, another major application market is the current panel, mobile phone, Samsung has started with 16 order OLED as the time mobile phone panel. At present, the main OLED panel technology is based on passive OLED products. Soon, the market of small and medium-sized technology for current monochrome TN / STN passive OLED technology, active OLED technology to a-Si TFT and LTPS technology and compete full-color panel Market; the overall OLED market demand will be substantial growth is expected in 2005 will reach $920 million, up $1 billion 850 million in 2006, a new opportunity to become small and medium size market. The current market situation in Japan is OLED pioneer, SNMD Korea and Taiwan Laibao technology three of the world, Japan is mainly dominated by pioneer car audio panel supply, South Korea SNMD and Laibao technology mainly in the mobile phone panel mainly supply time. Since 2004, because of the increase in the production of passive OLED panel manufacturers more and more, the future will be the application of passive OLED panel on the phone panel will increase the proportion will reach about 90%.

The OLED monitor manufacturer's trend of Singapore's first OLED factory production early next year the East Gate (Eastgate Technology) technology investment in the construction of the first Singapore OLED monitor factory, expected by the end of the year can be started trial production early next year formally put into production, production capacity can reach 1 million OLED in the month. Wu Hanqing, chairman and President, said the company optimistic about the market demand for this technology products, the business is expected to account for more than half of the group's revenue a few years later. Do you want to replace the OLED LCD panel Chai h electrical and electronic products, there will also be an important turning point. The company has several years of experience in production and supply, to grasp the greater market opportunities. OLED is characterized by power saving, no backlight, can produce a very thin screen. According to research firm iSuppli/Standford Resourc29 billion Singapore dollars, rapidly increased to 3 billion 100 million yuan in Singapore in 2009. Wu Hanqing pointed out that the company's shareholders are concerned about the development of this new business. The company has become the XOLED panel will be installed by the end of the sample, the factory production, since the construction progress of the business smoothly, but the future still need to overcome the conventional new products have to face the challenge. East Gate Technology announced at the same time, under the charge of the OLED panel production business owned subsidiary Innoled private limited company, Holland Inline Display Technologies Europe B.V. Investment Agency (IDTE) $3 million 600 thousand (Singapore), get 30% stake. East Gate, a subsidiary of 70% equity interest in science and technology. Wu Hanqing pointed out that IDTE shareholders, including OLED experts and financial bankers, to be able to help in terms of technology and financing. Subsidiary Innoled 12 million (Singapore dollars) to pay sufficient capital, is the first phase of the program in this business investment. It will eventually invest 25 million yuan (joint venture partners) to build Innoled production equipment. Wu Hanqing pointed out that the group's existing main business is for multinational companies such as apple, Microsoft and HP, such as the production of CD-ROM, and therefore has a number of
